Guys, unfortunately haven't gotten an answer from Vilayer yet (posted a ticket and tried live hlp through their site), so now I am wondering if any other admins who rent a server from Vilayer are having trouble loging into their control panel? I haven't been able to reach my control panel since this afternoon. Last thing I was able to do was shut down the server to change some settings and then the control panel stopt reacting. server: 37.59.135.96:2384

Thanks for the reply. It's an unlucky moment not to be able to login to the control panel, cause the last thing I did was stop the server. Now I really only want to restart it. Have a good trip!

Isn't side channel / chat disabled by default nowadays?

I am under the impression something is wrong ATM...I can't get into any servers as of 18.00 today, while playing earlier just fine. I keep getting stuck on loading screen

Played earlier today without a problem, now I seem not to be able to get into any server. Every single one I try, I get stuk on the loading screen.

this. wanted to watch until i saw twitch.tv its direct highlights of the video' date=' why wouldnt you watch them just because its on twitch? you dont have to go skimming through to see :) [/quote'] No...nothing like that. I actually enjoy long vids. It's just I hate twitch.tv as it always seems to bug out on my flash plugin. And if it is working, I still don't like the compression on the vids.

But if you extend that out, Sidearms take 5 'slots'. So you could put 20 sidearms? Get some dupers/clan members in here to answer :) lol @ dupers Good point...never had the urge to hoard more then two sidearms

sigh...twitch.tv. Hate that site with a passion.

Its a yellow zone; so you probable to encounter another player/survivor/bandit. Zub castle is there and it's also on the 'route north' from Cherno to Stary. So a route that gets some traffic I would guess.

My personal experience (over six weeks) on various servers; Pusthoska is a yellow zone. It has some interesting loot points where the warehouse can be a first go-to zone for vehicle part farming and there is a tankstation down the road south. People camping up in the NW wilderness might use Pusthoska as a refuel (parts or fuel) zone.

http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=9272&pid=213455#pid213455 Haven't got an answer from them. I think the us 23 is now us23 though. Looks like the same guy (xiuide) is running it.

Trust me when I say the guy is cheating. He constantly raids our bases, no matter where we put them, constantly shows up to try and kill us wherever we are on the map and can always find us. He once killed me near Krasnostav, ran to a base of ours nearly 5Km away, stole a car, drove it south to Krustoy Cap where I spawned, drove it into the woods where I was running, got out and shot me through a tree. That is hacking. You need some morphine...don't let paranoia get the best of you ;) inb4picsoritdidnthappen

Just letting you know my first contact with DayZ was through this exact video back in april when someone posted it on Mordor (EAUK). Thanks for putting it out there back then and making me curious for what, in hindsight, has been the best game I played in years.

So, upon entering US 23 there's a message saying the server will be gone after tomorrow? Shutting it down?

So, I was thinking how to give the whole PvP dimension more depth. Suppose it was possible to implement in this game some way of tracking down players through so called combat tracking techniques. Combat tracking is the art of being able to follow and hunt down a man by following its path and signs left behind. Of course such techniques could only be used if every player would leave behind some signs where he walked (footprints, broken twigs, flat grass). Although these mentioned signs would probably be impossible to implement within a game engine, yet maybe there are other things that are possible and would create on one hand a challenge for everyone that like tracking down player(s) living and hiding in the woods and on the other hand everyone playing should be wary of not leaving trackable signs.

This was also my first and biggest hesitation about the idea. Luckily there are people on these forums that are far more creative then myself.So maybe the idea of bush tracking is a good one, but how could such thing be implemented in a realistic way within the game engine?

No I think he means he can lock-down the server to allow only x amount of players which coincidently is the same as the amount of his buddies. And then have the whole map for their own loot-farming extravaganza.

signed. And you can accidently press respawn when you want to select video optons or abort (disconnecting, which in itself does not mean you are server hopping or whatever)

Broken leg and no morphine around...I am at the supermarket in Zelenogorsk. Anyone willing to help me out?

I'm never sharing stories and writing what happens when I play a game, but I really want to share what I witnessed yesterday. I have been playing Dayz for six weeks now and so far always lonewolf style. After the last reset of the tents I set up a humble camp (e.g. 1 tent) somewhere in the north of Chernarus (not outside the map). Yesterday I felt like roaming the woods. Once before I found a camp doing this and thought I might get lucky again and run into a camp, hopefully with a working vehicle in it. After walking for half an hour I had not seen a single tent and decided to go home again. Of course through the woods, just in case. I have GPS so that works great! Search coordinates, set up a waypoint on the map and start walking. After about five minutes walking, always looking around hoping to see some tents, I hear a horn honk once. Believe me when I say that my hartrate skyrocketed, literally! I stop immediately, dive under the nearest pine tree that I see .... and wait and listen. Then I hear the sound of an engine starting up! I remain silent ... listening closely. I hear the vehicle moving and the sound of the engine fades, very slowly into the distance. Because I clearly heard where the sound came from, I could do two things ... Walk on or take a look? I brace myself for a confrontation and decide to head in the direction where the sound of the horn came from. Slowly I crawl against the slope of the wooded mountain. After approximately 100 meters the slope becomes a little less steep and behold, what does my eye see!? A complete camp; three tents, a tractor, a bicycle and a Ural. I have a look but no one else is around. Ok, I must quickly decide what I should do. Whoever just drove off with apparently another vehicle from this camp can come back any time and given the number of vehicles there, chances are that he will not be alone. Loaded with weapons, ammunition and a lot more. The Ural looks good and I decide to step in .... everything green, driveable and 3/4 full tank. I get out and run a little further, down the slope. What should I do? The Ural truck is full of loot and I can drive it off. But these people have put a lot of time and effort in repairing the vehicles and all that loot ... Can I just steal it? Can I just take it all? Fuck it, how likely is it that have a find this stuff? If I don't act now, sooner or later I will regret it. Right now I have a chance to commit the crime unseen and unpunished! I run back up the hill, jump in the Ural and drive back down the slope. Set course to my camp, which will be getting a significant upgrade! Once arrived in my camp, I picked up my old tent, put all in the ural and start looking for a new place for my camp, version 2.0. It is not easy to conceal a big blue truck somewhere in the woods, I can tell you that much. The result of this adventure, a truck with 2 fn snide, 2 akm's, Remmington with flashlight, m4a1, ammo, blood bags (little to no use for me since I play lone wolf) and a whole load of other generic loot. Long story, I know. But I really had to share. Why? I still can not believe how this could happen simply because that player (accidentally?) used the horn of the vehicle before he drove off with it. Had he not done that, I would probably have just kept running, just missing the camp. I think this is an example of how this game works and what's so great about it. A tiny event leads to a whole new situation. It is such a big coincidence though, that I still can' believe it really happened. On my way back to camp I sat there wondering how it is possible that I stumble upon such a find. The map and playable area in this game is so huge, you can walk through the woods for hours without ever encountering anyone or seeing a single tent. But yesterday I got lucky and someone else unlucky, very unlucky. Tl;dr Dayz is a game with great dynamics and immersion.

- Never mind -

Yeah!!! Thanks for ep. 16 through 18. Was waiting for it :)
